Move pool fence (mentioned this a few weeks ago, but the devastating news that a 5yo drowned over in Galston last week has motivated us to focus on getting the fence moved asap - fence is safe as is, but its layout means that to get to and from shed, gate must be opened and there is a risk it may be left open when people are trying to get through with lawn mowers and wheelbarrows).

Tackle last daggy unloved bit of garden - get ready for planting up with pumpkins and melons - did start to do this but realised I was sick and went and laid down instead

Working for the Future

Went to playgroup to see Mother's Group friends - was rewarded with pizza, cake and biscuits :)

New family tradition: having special dessert when we get home from nighttime school thing/concert that kids have been involved in.

Sick, so shopping, cooking etc all fell by the wayside - need to get more ready meals in the freezer and have better plan for when I'm busy or out of action

Attended Primary School Brass Concert - totally blown away by the talent shown by all the kids - fave part; drumming on chairs with sticks, was so cool. Miss 6 was excellent Dingle Dangle Scarecrow. Miss 4 now wants to learn the trumpet.

House went from unacceptable to appalling (or Code Red) - hubs motivated to clean bathroom due to smell (smell actually coming from bin and dealt with three days ago - but am not going to tell him that).
